jimiemick Posted June 1, 2019 Report Share Posted June 1, 2019 Good Morning Rotorheads/Bladeslappers!!I am soon to be finishing my Australian CPL-H and am looking to head to the USA to do my FAA conversion as well as my instrument and instructors rating. I am going through looking at different schools the current 3 on the list areMauna Loa Helicopters - HawaiiGuidance Aviation - ArizonaHillsboro Aero - Portland/VegasI am aware of the approx costs and time frame, but what I am looking for is people who have trained at these schools and what are the Pros and Cons. Course structure/Lesson plansAircraft qualityInstructors, Do you get the same instructor or do you constantly have a new instructorAircraft Maintenance (can students help the AMEs during free time) Accommodation - Is the school accommodation ok, or is it better to lease somewhere nearArea costs/food choicesActivities to do with the school out of classFAA relationship- Does the school have issues with the FAAFlyable weatherDesignated training area'sCareer Development- Schools all tend to say how easy it is for their X students to get jobs, Is this really the case. Alot of the schools do offer the possibility to be employed at the end of the CFII training (obviously depending on if they like you enough)Thanks in advance!!
